Self-Flashing Skylights include a prefabricated aluminum curb wall and are available in a single wall curb or an insulated double wall curb with 1.5” of polyisocyanurate insulation and a concealed 2X4 for anchoring that complies with our test specimens. Curb heights are available in standard and special heights for mounting directly to the roof deck. Common heights are 9”, 12”, 14” and 16” but Maxim is able to provide any height required to meet every project specification.

Single Wall Self-Flashing comes fully assembled and is available with an optional exposed 2X4 wood nailer to provide a solid termination point for the roof membrane or termination bar but also provides proper fastener anchoring per our product testing. The curb(s) are able to be shipped separately (loose) for installation prior to the skylight portion. Installing the curbs prior to the curb mount portion provides protection of the finished skylight and glazing during the roofing installation process and minimizes jobsite damage to the finished skylight. An optional addition of 1.5” polyisocyanurate insulation can be added and is adhered to the exterior wall but is left exposed to be covered by the roof membrane at time of installation.

Installing the curbs prior to the curb mount portion provides protection of the finished skylight and glazing during the roofing installation process and minimizes jobsite damage to the finished skylight. Maxim offers stainless steel fasteners and sealants upon request to make this a simple process.
